The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of storytelling as a foundation for communicating with grandmothers about breastfeeding. The benefits of storytelling are applied to an analysis of infant-feeding stories that grandmothers told during a focus group study conducted by the authors. Thirty-five grandmothers participated in the study. A qualitative content analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that grandmothers' infant-feeding stories provided insights into the people (characters) and circumstances (setting) that affected their early experiences of infant feeding. By asking grandmothers to tell their stories, health-care professionals may understand the personal and cultural context grandmothers bring to their support of new mothers and facilitate a place for grandmothers' voices to be heard.
本研究的目的是检验将讲故事作为与祖母交流母乳喂养问题的基础是否有用。讲故事的益处被应用于对作者在焦点小组研究中收集的祖母讲述的婴儿喂养故事的分析。35位祖母参与了该研究。对访谈记录的定性内容分析表明,祖母们的婴儿喂养故事揭示了影响她们早期婴儿喂养经历的人物(角色)和环境(背景)。通过让祖母们讲述她们的故事,医疗保健专业人员可以了解祖母们在支持新妈妈时所带入的个人和文化背景,并为倾听祖母们的声音创造一个空间。
